Diary of a Breast Reduction: Michelle’s Blog 2
Introduction: Almost 113,000 women choose to have breast reduction surgery every year. Our patient kindly shares her story with our readers in Guest Blog series Part 2. Michelle’s story continues about her experience and why she is considering surgery.
